Claire L. Halstead is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. With a particular emphasis on Atlantic Canada, her research focuses on the Sisters of Service, a community of Roman Catholic women religious founded in 1922. Claire's Postdoctoral Fellowship is under S. Karly Kehoe's Canada Research Chair in Atlantic Canada Communities and the project is funded by the Sisters of Service.

Claire is social and cultural historian specialising in Modern British and Canadian history. Her doctoral research, on which she has published, focused on British children who were evacuated to Canada during the Second World War. As a digital historian, she is the creator of the world's only British Child Evacuee Database and HExD, the Halifax Explosion Database. Her postdoctoral project intersects with her research on twentieth-century Canada, immigration, childhood, and war and society.
